Is there anywhere you feel it is completely inappropriate to nurse in public?

well a few girlfriends have shared in my deliverys, with this last one a friend video taped the csec for me DH couldn't handle even being in the OR and w/ my third my close friend whom i have known since jr high cut the cord while DH ~~sweating in the corner~ watched, so yes my girlfriends have shared my birthing experience with me,

My girlfriends and I get together and watch each other's birth videos! My dd has even seen them and knows how a baby is born. And she's just 3 years old!

If my close girlfriend were here and wanted to be at the delivery, I would definately invite her.

AS it was, I had my MIL (my mom wasn't here yet), DH, DD1 and the midwives and their backups.

My DD was watching her video this AM. :-) she LOVES seeing it.

I've showed it to many ppl, even my FIL. I don't mind anyone seeing the VIDEO tho I wouldn't have invited him to the BIRTH. The way I see it, my body is completely different during birth (huge, big breasts, dark aerolas, etc.) that I don't even feel like it's as if they're seeing "nude photos" (nude videofootage) of me b/c I'm not LIKE that normally (only at 9 mos pg and giving birth, LOL).

I think it is one of those things that is personal. For me, no thank you. I don't want any family (i.e. sisters, sils, etc) or friends to experience in the joy of bringing our babies into the world. I also feel the same if I had chosen to breastfeed :o)

But I think for others who choose differently, it is great for them!

My dh & myself took plenty of pix in labor & delivery (well, he did ALL of the delivery ha!) and my ds came into the delivery room to see his new baby brother immediately following delivery.

Dh, my mom, 2 nurses & my ob. That is all I wanted for the first two deliveries, the same for the 3rd.

I feel it is a very personal choice :o) Moms should have whoever their heart's desire!

I wish I had video taped mine! We were going to take pictures, but dh spaced it out. I am really disappointed that I don't have any pictures.

I've seen about 5 birth videos (homebirths) of my girlfriends. We fast forward to the actual birth.
